This Cookie Policy explains how Carresthuk uses cookies and similar technologies on www.carresthuk.com.
Carresthuk is operated by Andy’s World Trade GmbH, based in Leverkusen, Germany.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or similar information stored in or accessed from a visitor’s browser or device. They may be used to remember preferences, support website functions and provide information about website usage.
2. Cookie Consent
When you visit our website, a Cookie banner may be displayed to provide information about the use of cookies.
Non-essential cookies are used only after you select “Accept” on our Cookie banner where consent is required.
You are free to decide whether to provide consent for non-essential cookies. Cookies that are strictly necessary for a service or function specifically requested by you may be used where permitted by applicable law.
Our Cookie settings may also allow you to review or change your preferences.
3. Types of Cookies
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies may be used to support essential website functions, maintain your selected settings, process requested actions and enable the website to operate as intended.
These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary for a service specifically requested by the visitor or otherwise fall within an applicable legal exception.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may remember choices made during your visit, such as language or other website preferences.
Where consent is required, these cookies are used only after you select “Accept”.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies may collect information about how visitors use the website, such as pages visited and general usage patterns.
Where consent is required, analytics cookies are activated only after consent has been provided through the Cookie banner.
Third-Party Cookies
Certain services used on our website may place or access cookies or similar information through their own services.
Stripe may process cookies and similar technologies when its payment services are used on our website. These may support payment functions and activities such as transaction-related processing, authentication, analytics and transaction risk assessment.
The applicable Stripe cookies and similar technologies are processed by Stripe and are subject to Stripe’s own privacy and Cookie policies.
For further information, please refer to Stripe’s Cookie Policy and Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
4. How Long Are Cookies Kept?
Cookie retention depends on the type, purpose and provider of the cookie.
- Session cookies are normally removed when the browsing session ends.
- Preference and consent cookies may remain for the period necessary to remember the visitor’s selected preferences.
- Analytics cookies may remain for the period specified for the relevant service and consent arrangement.
- Third-party cookies are retained according to the applicable provider’s stated retention period and service configuration.
- Necessary cookies may remain for the period required to provide the relevant website function.
There is no single statutory retention period applicable to every type of cookie. Cookies are therefore retained according to their purpose, applicable consent period, stated expiry period and relevant legal requirements.
When a cookie is no longer required for its stated purpose, it will be removed or expire in accordance with the applicable configuration.
5. Managing Your Cookie Choices
You may manage non-essential Cookie preferences through the Cookie controls provided on our website.
Where consent is required, declining or withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will prevent those cookies from being used for purposes requiring consent.
You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls may affect certain website functions.
6. Legal Basis
For visitors in Germany and the European Economic Area, the use of information stored on or accessed from a visitor’s device is carried out in accordance with applicable requirements, including the German TDDDG and the GDPR.
Where consent is required, consent is obtained through the Cookie banner before non-essential cookies are used. German law provides an exception for information storage or access that is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user.
For visitors in the United States, applicable federal and state privacy requirements are taken into account according to the visitor’s location and the nature of the relevant processing.
7. Privacy Information
Information collected through cookies may constitute personal information where it can be associated with an identifiable visitor.
Further information about how personal information is handled, including applicable rights and data retention practices, is available in our Privacy Policy.
